We study the problem of evaluating the excess risk of large-scale empirical risk minimization under the square loss. Leveraging the idea of wild refitting and resampling, we assume only black-box access to the training algorithm and develop…

Using a multiplicative reparametrization, I show that a subclass of $L_q$ penalties with $q\leq 1$ can be expressed as sums of $L_2$ penalties. It follows that the lasso and other norm-penalized regression estimates may be obtained using a…
